He has an important influence in the dressing room and maintains very high professional standards on and off the field. I look forward to him continuing to accompany the team forward."

Steele said after the contract extension: "The progress the club has made since I joined Brighton is incredible. If I can stay here for ten years, it will be A very special achievement. We have an excellent coaching team and goalkeeper team, and everyone motivates each other, makes progress together, and strives to be the best every day.
